Ok, I've been involved in some research over the past few years wherein my group has been thinking about a 500 million year revision in the age of a basin in India. That's a big deal in geology, but we finally went ahead and published our data. Creationists tend to accuse geologists of being brainwashed into accepting the status quo. Had we accepted the status quo, we would have never gone ahead and published these data, but to me, they begged to be published and they begged to challenge the status quo. So, the next time someone accuses scientists of being set in their ways, tell 'em it ain't so:
